Hi

My brother has been invited to a graduate sales executive assessment day (for Business to business sales).

Does anyone have any advise for him or what to expect at the assessment day?

One thing that might not help now but it's gold, put yourself in the buyers place, what do they want out of the meeting? anticipate problems, be prepared by doing specific homework - know when to stop selling.

Good luck

I assume this is above board, assessment with a firm, for a job that actually exists? I've heard horror stories in past few years about less than scrupulous agency-type outfits playing on the fact that the graduate job market isn't great.

Assuming all good: he needs to be remembered for being someone that you'd want to spend all day working with and happily go out for a pint with after work. BUT not an attention seeking knob who thinks he knows it all.
